Thread wrapped bamboo branch with a thread tassel dangle. Cat play and toys incorporates predatory games of “play aggression”. Cats’ behaviors when playing are those similar to hunting behavior. Play is about predation, and a highly excited cat can cause minor injuries in the excitement of the moment. With most cats, it is wise to keep play things away from fingers or eyes, and avoid encouraging a cat to eat inedible toys. A cat that becomes extremely excited may accidentally inflict injuries to its human playmate in the form of light scratches or small puncture wounds from biting too hard. Please avoid this and use a lure when playing with your cat.
